For the Nikon D3100 I had to go into the slot empty release lock and select “unlock” for tethering to work.
I found it helpful to start the script, then plug in the d3100, turn it on, and click select camera, then enable tethering.

Step 1 install free scipt from DIYphotobits at http://www.diyphotobits.com/
Step 2 plug USB/PC cable in
Step 3 Setup auto import in LR (or other program) including same folder as DIYphotos (I used a tether folder).
Step 4 Click use auto import in LR (leave LR running)
Step 5 Run the DIY script
Step 6 Alter the folder to your preference within the script
Step 7 Click Start tether
Step 8 Set your camera to manual/shutter/aperture priority
Step 9 Turn camera on
Step 10 use it……there is a slight delay of around 5 seconds, but it works….you do not need LR if you just use JPG, the script will preview those.

Here is the solution for all those Nikon users who have their USB mode set correctly and Camera Control 2.8.0 still refuses to recognize their cameras. I had the same problem with my D300 on Win7x64 desktop. Once you have Camera Control Installed…

1. Right click on the icon, and select the “Compatiblity” tab.

2. If most of the settings are greyed out, hit the “Change settings for all users” button.

3. In this dialog, select “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and choose
“WIndows Vista (Service Pack 1) then Apply

4. Open the “Shortcut” tab and hit the “Advanced…” button. Check “Run as administrator”

* I am not the one who figured this out…someone else did…just spreading the word. If the above does not work for you double check your USB settings and make sure they are set to MTP/PTP mode. Remember some cameras do not have this option and are always in this mode. Also try a sanity check on another system. That’s how I verified my camera was not at fault

I had a similar problem with Nikon Camera Control 2 Pro where the camera not detected message appeared. Nikon told me the usual things to check, USB cable provided by Nikon with ferrite coil surrounding the cable, fully charged batteries etc. Not of that worked! I finally figured out the problem with my system and offer my solution in hope that it will solve your problem. I’m running Win 7 Pro so my keystrokes may vary for your OS version:

Here goes:

Start, Run, Type services.msc in the Open box, hit enter
Scroll to Windows Image Aquisition (WIA) service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic (don’t click OK yet, do it after you are all done)
Select the Dependencies tab at the top of the WIA properties box to see the dependencies
Click on the + sign to the left of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) dependency to see the system components
Go back to the services window and scroll to the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) line and double click it to open the properties box
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Scroll to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Scroll to RPC Endpoint Mapper service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Scroll to DCOM Service Process Launcher service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Scroll to Shell Hardware Detection service and double click the name
In the startup type pulldown menu select Automatic, then click OK
Click OK to finish closing the WIA properties box

You should be done at this time and may need to re-start the computer. (not sure of that but why not at this stage)

Great software, exactely what I’m looking for. Only it doesn’t work with my D40 / Win7 64-bit? The program recognizes my camera but the camera just hangs at “connecting to PC”. Any suggestions, PLEASE? (Probably I’m just doing something wrong…)
